Steinberg Ice Rink

Ice Skating it not an event that we have done much of in our years. J is worried because he has had a bad back. I took the kiddos to an ice skating rink years ago in Houston. Possible fell on her elbow and needed 3 months of surgeries and recovery to heal. St. Louis has a beautiful open air out door rink that had been apart of St. Louis history for years and years. Steinberg Skating Rink has a rich tradition of being a winter destination for the locals. 


The kids didn't know what to expect but were up for another adventure, making new memories.















Twin Adorable with Pooker











These two loved skating, probably because they were with their siblings.

Jumba and BasketBall

Bear has gone back to OKC but the rest of us are headed to Jumba's basketball game. He is doing great and trying so hard. His siblings are all enjoying the opportunity to watch him play.

Well, maybe not the twins. They are enjoying just hanging out.
Family time!


Way to play Jumba. He gets better and better.

Seeing Westhoff Family

The Westhoff's came into town and we met them for lunch. It is always good to see our Houston friends. I am missing picture of Christopher and Mr. Westhoff but they were with us.

Great Big Brother

I love that I caught Pickle taking care of his baby sisters. They got new shoes, but they were with laces. It warmed my heart watching Pickle stop what we was doing to sit down and teach the girls. how to tie their shoe laces. 



Big brother at his best.

Play Time

Everyone is playing with their new gifts and with each other.






I love the days after Christmas. Often things are quiet. Everyone is playing with their gifts. This always makes for a fun house!

Tea Party

One gift that the twins each got from Santa was tea sets. A big party was planned and even the boys were allowed to attend.

Somehow the twins got the boys to actually serve the Tea Party.

After tea we all retired to the living room for a family rosary.


I got to say that this family time is a beautiful time. We have laughed, prayed and eaten good foods. We are beyond blessed.
